No, I'm using a Python which the customer has installed.  Located via
the registry.

Look, the user may or may not have "customized" their Python.  I don't
want JCC to depend on that.  I don't see why the approach I suggested
(looking in the registry and making sure the right path (or paths) are
on PATH) is a bad one?
